You are correct, Carl. He has a PhD in philosophy and operates a motorcycle repair shop in Richmond, VA as his livelihood. He grew up in a commune in California, was executive director of a Washington, DC think tank at one point. He's been around to say the least.

He makes a point of how wrong-headed it is to denigrate the types of work in which something useful is produced (plumbers, mechanics, carpenters, and electricians, for example) as opposed to the unmeasureable stuff that is churned out by "teams" working on ethereal, difficult-to-quantify concepts in offices. The latter, he says, is what our educational systems prepares us for, but the former is what really counts when it comes to real value and a real sense of purpose and worth in one's life.

As I said, I think it is a book that would resonate with a high per centage of the participants on this forum.
